Nikon Ambassadors are some of the most talented and influential visual artists working in the business today. From workshops to trade show platforms, online learning and social media; Nikon Ambassadors represent the most versatile and ambitious photographers today.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

Corporate Profile

Nikon is the world leader in digital imaging, precision optics and photo imaging technology and is globally recognized for setting new standards in product design and performance. The unique strength of the Nikon brand attributable to the company’s unwavering commitment to quality, performance, technology and innovation.

When a special moment happens, you don't want to be fussing with your camera—you want to be capturing the sights and sounds while still enjoying yourself. The COOLPIX L28 does all the thinking for you, so you can just point, shoot and rest assured the results will be great. Intuitive buttons, a large LCD display and remarkably simple menus make it easy to change modes, add Image Effects or just review your shots. And since the camera runs on regular AA batteries, power can always be close at hand.

Frame the perfect shot

5x wide-angle NIKKOR glass zoom lens gets you closer to the action

Every COOLPIX is designed around a genuine NIKKOR glass lens, the legendary optics that have made Nikon famous. The COOLPIX L28's 5x zoom NIKKOR lens is great for everything from wide-angle group shots to close-up portraits. Plus, electronic Vibration Reduction keeps every shot steady, even if your hands are not.

Capture the sights and sounds

720p HD videos with sound bring your memories to life

When a photo alone won't do, press the dedicated movie button and instantly start recording 720p HD video in widescreen format while the built-in microphone captures the sounds of the moment in high fidelity. When you're ready to share your creations, use an optional audio video cable (EG-CP14) to connect to your compatible TV. Your friends and family will see your movies come to life on the big screen.

Master the camera in no time

Simple, convenient operation for stress-free shooting

The COOLPIX L28 is so easy to use, anyone can take great photos and videos with it. Just turn the camera on, point, shoot and marvel at the results. For maximum point-and-shoot convenience, select Easy Auto Mode. It automatically optimizes the camera settings for each shot, no matter how challenging the situation. You'll be free to enjoy the moment while you capture it.

Let the camera call the shots

Experienced photographers optimize their camera settings to match the situation. The COOLPIX L28 does that work for you. With 20 Scene Modes, including Beach, Snow, Night Portrait, Sunset and more, it's easy to match the moment to a Scene Mode. You can even get creative and use Scene Modes to alter ordinary shots. Or, select Scene Auto Selector and let the camera choose the best mode for your situation.

Point, shoot and amaze

Sharper photos of moving subjects

When your subject is moving fast, Motion Detection automatically kicks in and selects a faster shutter speed and higher ISO (light sensitivity) to help you get sharper, clearer photos.

Always ready for action

The COOLPIX L28 is powered by two regular AA batteries, which are convenient to use and widely available. It accepts alkaline, lithium and Nikon rechargeable batteries, available as an optional accessory.

Good low cost camera
Very good inexpensive digital camera. I have high end Nikon digital and love it, but this is a good down and dirty scenery shooter. Took it on a cruise and loved the results.

VERY VERY BAD CAMERA
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! I bought this camera specifically for a trip in three weeks where I cannot easily charge the reusable batteries on my reliable Sony. This camera has broken before I even used up the batteries it came with from the store. I only managed to take circa 80 pictures and videos before the only thing it would do is show a broken flower on the viewscreen and not do anything else. Moreover, the pictures and videos I did manage to take are in a format that Adobe Premiere Elements does not like--I have to manually edit each one to get it to be accepted. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CAMERA.

Not worth the money
I have been using Nikon for a number of years and the problem that occurs is the viewing screen is touched the wrong way and it breaks. I use a camera daily for my job. After going through 6 in a little over a year, I changed brands. I purchased an LG at roughly the same price and it lasted nearly 2 years. Upon that camera breaking, in a hurry, I decided to try your product again. I bought this camera on 12/24/2013 and exactly 2 months later, the same thing happens.
So needles to say, I have gone with another brand. I would in fact like my money back for this item.

When I take photos of moving or shaking objects, it gets blurry. When click the capture button, it is showing the shutter speed as 1/60. I think if i can set it manually to something around 1/1600, it will improve the quality of image. Please tell me how can I set the shutter speed manually ?

You cannot set the shutter speed manually with the COOLPIX L28. You might want to try using the Sports Scene Mode, please see page 34 of your pdf manual for more information. In this mode the camera will focus on the center of the frame, capture a maximum of 6 frames at a amx frame rate of 1.1 fps.

I have the L122 and the auto focus brackets don't move anymore so I don't have auto focus, which is why I bought a new camera.

The L28 is suppose to automatically focus when you lightly press and hold the shutter button Halfway down. You should hear a sound and the focus brackets in the center of the screen should lit green. The camera will take the picture without focusing properly if you press the button too hard.

In Scene Mode/Easy Scene Mode, the camera uses face detections when Portraits, Night Portrait, and Pet portrait scenes are selected. A yellow box will show up around the face of a human or pet such as a cat or dog, and when the shutter button is lightly pressed halfway down, the camera focuses on the face. See page 57 of the user manual.

When the camera is set to Auto Mode (Not Easy Auto). face detection cannot be use. The camera uses the center of the screen to focus and the focus brackets in the center of the screen cannot be moved.

I'm hoping I can find a firmware update for my coolpix L28 that uses the date/time stored in the camera to create unique filenames, instead of starting with dscn0000.jpg and iterating every time I clear the sd card.I should be able to move pictures from one directory to another without having to mess with their filenames, or risk over-writing once-in-a-lifetime photos.

In NIKON TRANSFER 2, there is an option to rename photos before they are transferred. This option is located under the primary destination tab. You can also rename the photos once they are transferred to your computer. Changing the files names via the L28 menu is not possible.
